4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eyes
If material gets into the eyes, immediately flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes
while holding eyelids apart. If symptoms develop as a result of vapor exposure, immediately move
individual away from exposure and into fresh air before flushing as recommended above. Seek
immediate medical attention.

Skin
Immediately flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Seek immediate medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse and discard contaminated
shoes.

Ingestion

damage to the mouth and throat. If individual is conscious and alert, immediately rinse mouth with water
and give milk or water to drink. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.

Inhalation
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Seek
immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.

water spray to cool fire exposed containers and structures until fire is out if it can be done with minimal
risk. Avoid spreading burning material with water used for cooling purposes.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions
For personal protection see section 8. Persons not wearing protective equipment should be
excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Avoid breathing dust.

Environmental precautions
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Methods for cleaning up


Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Pick up and
arrange disposal without creating dust.

Other information
Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

General advice
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Personal protective
equipment should be selected for individual applications and should consider factors which affect
exposure potential, such as handling practices, chemical concentrations and ventilation. It is ultimately
the responsibility of the employer to follow regulatory guidelines established by local authorities.
Avoid breathing dust.

Exposure controls
Mechanical ventilation systems used to ventilate corrosive storage or process areas must be
designed with components that are corrosion resistant. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places
where dust is formed.

Wear chemical splash goggles and face shield to protect eyes and skin from airborne dust.
Maintain eye wash station in immediate work area.

Skin and body protection


Wear appropriate chemical impervious clothing and boots whenever there is potential for skin
contact with product. Launder clothing before reuse. Maintain safety shower at all locations where skin
contact could occur. Contact your local safety equipment supplier to assist the facility in determining
proper selection of personal protective equipment for the applications/operations present at your facility.
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier).
Discard gloves that show tears, pinholes, or signs of wear.

Respiratory protection
A NIOSH-approved air-purifying respirator with an appropriate cartridge and/or filter may be
permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure
limits (if applicable) or if overexposure has otherwise been determined. Protection provided by air-
purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure, air-supplied respirator if there is any potential
for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known or any other circumstances where an air-
purifying respirator may not provide adequate protection.
